Zen Scope
In the Lotus Sutra, it is said,
"
Those who, to stupa shrines,
To precious statues and painted images,
With reverent thoughts make offerings
Of flowers and incense, banners and canopies;
Those who have others perform music —
Beating on drums and blowing on horns and conches,!
Pipes and flutes, playing zithers and harps,
Lutes, gongs, and cymbals,
And all such marvelous sounds as these —
That they bring as offerings;
Or who with joyful minds,
Sing praises of the Buddha’s virtues,
Even for a single small sound,
Will all have attained the way of the buddhas".
Zen Master Dogen, "The Treasure of the True Dharma Eye"
